Everybody knows somebody

FEBRUARY 25, 2012

Everybody knows somebody with an eating disorder.

According to the National Eating Disorders Association, in the United States, as many as 10 million females and 1 million males are fighting a life and death battle with an eating disorder such as anorexia or bulimia. Millions more are struggling with binge eating disorder. The National Institute of Mental Health states that one out of five women in the U.S. struggle with an eating disorder or disordered eating. Increasingly, males are also being affected by eating disorders, as an estimated 10 to 15 percent of those with anorexia or bulimia are men and boys.

Again this spring, the Center for Counseling and Health Promotion in collaboration with the Women's Resource Center, Athletics, and the Student Feminist Collective, is sponsoring a week of events in conjunction with National Eating Disorder Awareness Week, February 27-March 2.
